[pic] A Zoo for a Primate Observation 11/15/2012 For this paper I decided to visit Zoo Atlanta to observe lowland gorillas. I got to the zoo at around eleven in the morning and found out the feeding times for the gorillas. Once I found them‚ after watching them for a little while I selected the most active group to go watch during feeding. The point of this trip was to make me feel as if I was doing a field laboratory observation

examined multiple generations‚ all we can tell is from a snapshot in time from one generation. According to a test that was studied by Wooding‚ the taster gene is an interesting one to follow. After studying how it changes throughout generations of orangutans‚ they discovered that that out of eight‚ six of them showed the taster gene. This means that 6/8‚ or 75% of them shoe this trait‚ while the remaining 25% don’t have it. (Wooding‚ 2006) So‚ what does this show? It shows that genetic drift isn’t

Evolution of man Man obviously shares a common ancestry with the modern apes‚ such as the gorilla and chimpanzee. We know this from the many characteristics that are shared between apes and man. Apart from obvious anatomical and behavioral similarities‚ the two groups also have many blood proteins and other biochemical characteristics in common. A comparison of the skulls of a gorilla and a modern man illustrate the main trends that have taken place in human evolution from an ape-like ancestry

Movies and novels such as "Planet of the Apes" and 2001: A Space Odyssey are called Science Fiction because they portray situations that seem extremely unrealistic concurrent with contemporary philosophy. "Planet of the Apes" depicts a world where apes rule while humans are subjected to servitude and confinement. These apes speak intelligibly and are human-like in appearance and behavior. In 2001: A Space Odyssey‚ the highly advanced computer‚ HAL 9000‚ an acronym for "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic

Similarities of physiology and behaviour due to homology - share common ancestor with that trait or analogy - not due to common ancestor but common due to convergent evoution. Improvement suggestions: the behavioural homology of crocodiles and birds may be flawed. Also the analogy between fish and mammals could be wrong as the post-anal tail of quadrupedal mammals and fish is a common trait.

Polar bears‚ contrary to popular belief‚ do not poop at all. Their excretion is solely liquid‚ and this explosive process happens about once or twice a month. Just kidding.

The 1983 Barun Valley discoveries prompted three years of research on the ’tree bear’ possibility by Taylor‚ Fleming‚ John Craighead and Tirtha Shrestha. From that research the conclusion was that the Asiatic Black Bear‚ when about two years old‚ spends much

Survival is a natural characteristic lying within every living creature on Earth. It may seem that animals have more adaptive survival techniques than humans. That could be reasoned by the fact that animals are constantly preying or being preyed on depending on their role on the food chain. Humans use their survivals techniques in different ways. We never truly know our real survival skills until faced with a daunting situation. We have learned to be domesticated by society and how we believe a person
